Once the streak was broken, another 71 game streak continued. Baskin also holds the dubious distinction of being the town in Louisiana which derives the most revenue from traffic fines and forfeitures, according to the Louisiana Legislative Auditor. The lady-rams won 218 consecutive games from 1948 to 1953. The population was 188 at the 2000 United States Census census.

The Baskin High School women's basketball team holds the record for longest winning streak in organized sports. Traffic fines and forfeitures account for 84% of the town's budget.[http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/17994529.html?showAll=y&c=y].
